General Notes: Husband - Robert McDermott

---

He was reared on the family home­stead near Karns City, Butler County, PA. During the War of 1812 he ran away from home to enter the service, but was rejected on account of his youth. He afterwards became a captain in an early militia company and took a deep interest in military affairs. He was a great hunter and a splendid rifle shot, and many a bear, deer, etc., fell a victim to his unerring aim. He was a member of Fairview United Presbyterian church, an active Democrat, and held various official positions. He was one of the early school teachers of the county, and a thoroughly progressive, enterprising citizen.

General Notes: Wife - Fannie Martin

---

After marriage, they took up residence on the old family homestead, in a little log cabin built in 1823, which was still standing as late as 1895 and in a good state of preservation. She often clipped wool from the sheep, and carded, spun and wove the same into clothing for her family. She was the mother of eleven children, ten of whom grew to adulthood. She, as well as her husband, was a teacher in the public schools. In May, 1837, she joined the Fairview United Presbyterian church, and remained a member of that society throughout her life. Even when well advanced in years she possessed a remarkably clear memory, and could relate many incidents of pioneer days and trials.
